Chef's Notes
Listen to me very carefully, my culinary cadets. When you perform the hasselback cut, use a sharp serrated knife and place two chopsticks on either side of the baguette as guardrails. This guarantees you will never accidentally slice all the way through the bottom crust. Precision separates the amateurs from the royals!
Pro Tip
Want to elevate this from mere royalty to absolute divinity? Let your baguette sit uncovered on the counter overnight before slicing it. Stale bread acts like an eager sponge, drinking up every single drop of that rich vanilla custard without turning into a sad, soggy puddle.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware, amateur slice-smiths: slicing all the way through the baguette turns your majestic hasselback masterpiece into a pathetic pile of soggy French toast croutons, while failing to let the bread soak long enough leaves you chewing on the dry, tragic bones of unholy, eggy cardboard!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we are cutting the bread like potatoes, and he said it was to confuse the carbohydrates into thinking they are vegetables.
The Culinary Science
Let us indulge in a touch of food science! The process of soaking the bread allows the starch molecules in the flour to absorb the liquid proteins from the eggs and milk. When subjected to the dry heat of the oven, these trapped moisture pockets turn to steam, causing the custard-soaked bread to puff up dramatically while the exterior caramelizes into a magnificent crunch.
